Step 1: Getting Started

Special note about emilynd06's pictured version: Modified to work back and forth for the first 8-10 rows, in order to create a button-over wrist. Worked two small Solomon’s Knots for each one written in the pattern, as I liked the look of the lattice better that way. I also worked a lace border from a different pattern at the wrist, instead of additional Solomon’s Knots.

Size: To fit average hand

Note: These gloves will stretch to fit most women's hands; washing will restore them to their original size.

Gauge:6 Solomon's knots to 2" worked on size 7 steel hook. To save time, take time to check gauge.

Step 2: Pattern Instructions

Pattern:

Right-hand glove: Join length of elastic to fit around wrist. Work 100 sc over elastic and join with a sl st to first sc.

1st round * Extend loop on hook to a height of approximately 1/4", yo and draw a loop through extended loop on hook, insert hook from front to back in the back strand of the loop just made, yo and draw a loop through, there are now 2 loops on hook, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook- called 1 Solomon's knot or 1 SK -, skip next 4 sc, 1 sc in next sc, rep from * 19 more times. Do not turn at end of rounds.

2nd round * 1 SK, inserting hook under 2 top loops only of extended st work 1 sc in next SK of previous round - called 1 sc top -, rep from * to end.

8th round (1 SK, 1 sc top) twice in first SK, mark this inc with a colored thread, (1 SK, 1 sc top in next SK) 4 times, (1 SK, 1 sc top) twice in next SK, *1 SK, 1 sc top in next SK, rep from * to end.

9th-13th rounds As 2nd round.

Divide for thumb

14th round Work in pat to position directly above marked inc, 3 SK, skip next 7 SK, 1 sc top in next SK, mark last st with a colored thread, *1 SK, 1 sc top in next SK, rep from * to end.

15th-20th rounds As 2nd round. 20 SK.

Divide for first finger

21st round Work in pat to position directly above marked st, 2 SK, skip next 13 SK, 1 sc top in next SK.

Step 3: Part 2

Cont. in rounds of SK pat on these 8 SK until finger measures 3" from beg or length required.

Complete as for first finger.

Fourth finger

Next round With palm facing, rejoin yarn to sc at base of 3rd finger, (1 SK, 1 sc top in next SK) 5 times, (1 SK, 1 sc top in base of 3rd finger) twice.

Cont. in rounds of SK pat on these 7 SK until finger measures 2-3/4'' from beg or length required.

Next round I sc in each of next 7 sc. Fasten off and complete as for first finger.

Step 4: Finishing Up

Thumb

Next round With RS facing, rejoin yarn to sc at right of thumb opening, (1 SK, 1 sc top in next SK) 7 times, (1 SK, 1 sc in next sc) 3 times across back of thumb opening, (1 SK, 1 sc top in next SK) 7 times, 1 sc top in next SK, skip next SK-1 SK dec.
